Hauling water is the chore that never gets any easier. A float valve on a tank ends it. The tank fills itself to a set level and shuts off, and the only remaining job is checking that it did. Across several watering points that is hours a week you get back. This one is rated at roughly 1,250 L (330 gallons) an hour, which is the figure that matters when you are working out whether a single valve can keep up with a group of cattle drinking hard on a July afternoon. The universal fitting is designed to suit a range of tanks rather than one manufacturer. Mount it where an animal cannot reach it, which in practice means behind a guard or at the end of a tank rather than out in the middle. A float valve is among the most reliable parts of a watering system and among the easiest things in a pen to break. Check it rather than trusting it. The habit worth building is a glance at the water level every time you walk past, because a valve stuck open floods a pen and a valve stuck shut empties a tank, and from a distance the two look identical until you look at the water.
